Don’t walk run to this iconic Cathedral. The steps are wonderful to sit and people watch and soak in the Game of Thrones feeling. Inside is grand. The cloisters in the garden are lovely to sit and cool off. I bought the 3 in 1 ticket so no need to line up… go to the tourism office in Girona first. They are so helpful. Quite wonderful.

Lovely cathedral and nice to see where they filmed some of the game of thrones. The walk on the wall surrounding it is quite something and worth doing. If you more in depth information it's probably worth going on a small guided tour.

Visiting Girona Cathedral was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Spain. Climbing the steep steps to see its stunning Gothic façade and elegant Baroque details, I knew it was going to be unforgettable. Inside, the cathedral’s nave—the widest Gothic nave in the world—left me completely in awe. The way light streamed through the stained-glass windows and highlighted the intricate stonework made me feel like I was walking through centuries of history. What fascinated me even more were the stories hidden within these walls. The cathedral has witnessed pivotal moments in history, from the medieval struggles during the Reconquista to its role as a religious and political center in Catalonia. I was intrigued to learn that it was originally built on the site of an earlier Romanesque church, and its construction spanned several centuries, reflecting the changing styles and influences over time. Beautiful cloisters, which date back to the 11th century, have seen everything from daily monastic life to historical ceremonies that shaped the region. Inside, there is so much to see. The main altar, with its stunning Gothic retablo, is breathtaking, and the Treasury houses priceless religious artifacts, including chalices, reliquaries, and medieval manuscripts. The Museu d’Art Sacre attached to the cathedral showcases beautiful liturgical garments and intricate paintings. I was also captivated by the fantastic rose window at the entrance and the Baroque pulpit, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Legend adds an extra layer of magic to the cathedral. They say that on quiet nights, the ghostly figure of a white-clad woman—known as the “White Lady of Girona”—wanders the cloisters, mourning a lost love. Locals claim she was a noblewoman whose secret romance ended tragically, and her spirit now lingers, protecting the cathedral and its treasures. This add a pinch of mystery to the history of this magnificent church. Climbing the tower gave me a breathtaking view of Girona’s old town, the Onyar River, and the surrounding hills—it really makes you appreciate how this cathedral has stood as a guardian over the city for centuries.For anyone visiting Girona, the cathedral is not just a sight to see—it’s a journey through time, mystery, and culture. Entrance cost €7.50 and its well worth it.

This is a must see in Girona, from its Gothic architecture to its history and modern-day GOT references. There is something for everyone! While a bit crowded, it never felt overwhelming and we were able to enjoy the climb up the stairs and the views.

A quite amazing place. Only €7:50 to enter and includes a guide handset. The cathedral is on of the most amazing one I have seen, with lots to see and learn about. It’s incredibly beautiful inside and out. Highly recommended

A must visit if in Girona especially if you are a game of thrones fan. Jaime rode his horse partially up the stairs which is very impressive. Word is it took 2 weeks to train the horse. Inside is a small museum and amazing architecture for your entry fee. Views from top of stairs are really cool.

I had a fairly negative experience when visiting this cathedral which was a shame. I was approached by some men on the street and shouted at, which took away from the natural beauty and atmosphere of the cathedral, i was warned by locals not to be in the area by myself and they walked me back to the centre of Girona. I think if you are in a group or with a friend it is definitely worth a visit, I was just unlucky, and maybe be a bit more alert if you are a solo female traveller too!

Quite small but extremely cheap to get in. 5 euros for both of us. Very interesting and beautiful. Highly recommend 🙂

Well wort a visit nice to see such a historical place in great condition.only costs €3 to get in

It was much colder here than in Pineda de Mar which is where we are staying. Very windy too! The baths are worth the visit. Very cool representation. There are stairs (some narrow spiral) so may not be great for people with mobility issues.

Cool little tour of the baths. Very low cost if you are a senior and very worthwhile. Signage in English so you can get the history.

Lovely visit and only 3 euro entry. Well worth it

Good value and interesting explanations in multiple languages in each section. Terrific views available also. A special treat for Game of Thrones fans.

Interesting place, low ticket entry price

Sant Pere de Galligants is one of two Benedictine monasteries in Girona’s historic center. Its construction began in the 10th century in Romanesque style with further construction starting in the 12th century. Tickets cost €7 for adults in April 2025 to the archeological museum that is housed in the monastery. However, even walking around the exterior of the building admiring its architecture is worth it.

Kids area first floor with instructives comics, pictures to colour, other amazing roman glasing vase! Highly informative panels and antique objects. Is really worth a visit

It was mostly empty inside but there were some old tombs and ancient Latin writings. There is big garden at the back of it, it very peaceful. Also if you go upstairs there is an exhibition of history from the oldest to till now. It was very pleasing however I wish they had enough English explanations. Mostly explanations are in Catalan.

If you visit beautiful Girona, this stunning place you must see.

Seriously a walk back in time. Beautiful. Easy to navigate. Shockingly antique. Great on a sunny day or a rainy day. I'd love to see it in the snow.

One of the 5 museums of girona!! This medieval church is the archaeological museum of girona. Where you can expand your wisdom on the subject of medieval architecture and techniques. It is tiny, you will see all the exposition quickly but they usually offer child activities such as build your own mosaic (adults can play it too)

Worst museum ever. Maybe twelve exhibits in glass boxes highly reflective so hard to see what is displayed. At least 11,000 years of human history and this is what they display??

I took an audio guide in Spanish, and my husband took one in English. It was very convenient and interesting! There were few people, I recommend going on a weekday.

Its incredibly beautiful... in my opinion its way cooler on the inside then the cathedral. The tickets are quit cheap. If you're in Girone you HAVE to go check this place i swear its breathtaking 😍.

Visiting the Basilica of Sant Feliu was one of my favorite moments in Girona. It sits just below the cathedral, but in many ways it feels even more ancient and authentic. Knowing that the first church here was built in the 4th century, over the tomb of Saint Feliu, makes the place feel truly special. You can see the layers of history in every stone. The mix of styles is beautiful: the solid Romanesque base, elegant Gothic arches, and touches of Baroque detail show how the church evolved over hundreds of years. The bell tower is stunning up close — slender and graceful, rising high above the old town. Inside basilica is very calm. I loved the collection of Roman and early Christian sarcophagi, carved with such detail that they almost feel alive. The main altar, where the relics of Saint Feliu rest, has a quiet, sacred atmosphere that’s easy to feel even if you’re not religious. It’s a place that combines history, beauty, and peace in a very natural way. Tickets cost only €12 and includes entrance to nearby cathedral and art museum. Audio guides available if you want to know the place better and more detailed.

Girona, Spain, I was completely captivated by its medieval charm. Wandering through the old town… narrow stone alleyways, ancient archways, and The Girona Cathedral was especially breathtaking. It’s grand staircase and imposing façade are stunning in person. This I recall from GOT. As a fan of Game of Thrones, exploring the old town was cool. Many parts of the medieval center and the cathedral steps were filming locations. Girona’s medieval center offers the perfect blend of history, atmosphere, and fantasy. A must-visit for anyone who loves architecture, culture, or Game of Thrones

Probably more photographed than the cathedral because of the cool spire. Don’t miss visiting it.

Sat across the street to have lunch and found the Basilica very nice to look at. Some missing or destroyed parts on top of the right side tower. I did not enter.

The basilica is a stunning Gothic-style building constructed in the 14th century using ashlar and masonry. The facade and steps, however, are Baroque. Although it may not be as grand as the Girona Cathedral, it is still definitely worth a visit. Additionally, admission to both of these churches is free on Sundays, just thought it would be good to know!

Michelin guide from 1983 states that a 3 Michelin star restaurant can boast of “Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey. Superb food, fine wines, faultless service, elegant surroundings... One will pay accordingly!”. We did that *special* journey to Can Roca almost one year ago - and all this time I had mixed feelings about writing the review of 3 out of 5 for a Michelin 3* restaurant. The truth is - superb food was there. The chefs still do have something to say. The signatures (like the olive tree) are awesome. As well as fine wines (please please if you decide to visit, spare those extra €€ for a wine pairing - you will be surprised how well thought is the interplay of food and wines). The desserts by Jordi Roca are very playful and you will feel his vibe of an “enfant terrible” - on top of that, petits four are being served from a lovely dessert trolley (our portions of chocolate were really generous and the kid even got some to take away). So why 3 out of 5? The service and the attention to special asks. One of us called well in advance before the visit asking if there are dishes with fresh vegetables and if those could be changed for something else. When we arrived, the ask was repeated. We had a long profound conversation on if that person really, but really can’t eat the very wonderful fresh veggies the chef was preparing. We reconfirmed that definitely not and asked again if he could get some alternative. A lady said that she would do her best and disappeared - later on we were served by other people. To our surprise our friend got absolutely the same dishes as everyone else. With no disclaimer, no excuse. C’mon, we all know that some chefs are very sensitive in terms of customization - I respect that, but if it’s the case, it would be great to let clients know in advance. As a result, our friend had to miss 3 dishes. Obviously, when it’s a 17 items course, 3 is not a big deal and we didn’t say anything, I’m very well aware how stressful the service might be even without complaining clients. But when we were asked if we would come back - we said yes only out of politeness. If 3* stars are considered “the Mount Everest of fine dining”, maybe we’ll climb Kilimanjaro next time.

I don’t know what I can say that has not already said about this place. This was the last dinner of our European summer trip this year. We were lucky to get off the waitlist. Rented a car just to drive 1hr from Barcelona to dine here for dinner. 3* mean it’s worth a trip just to go and dine. I would agree as it was worth that trip and drive: the epitome of 3*. The food, hospitality and service are beyond words. It’s so many course but they were all so tasteful and fun; we didn’t want it to stop. All this success and the Roca brothers are still so humble; each one gracing us with their presence that evening. The wine pairing is a must, but next time, I’m taking a deep dive in their expansive list of thousands of bottles. Expect a 4hr meal, at least. They deserve their accolades and I can’t wait to go back.

I am not sure it’s possible to create a more complete, delicious meal from start to finish. This was so much better than almost every other fine dining restaurant I’ve been to. Not much else to say. So perfect in every regard from the food to setting to service.

2025 "Festival" menu - extraordinary tastes and preparations. Very large quantity of food--surprisingly great value in the context of fine dining. Particular highlights: alcoholic drink/wine program, as well as the brioche bread variations.

100% worth the trip to girona ! amazing tasting menu with extensive wine offering for a reasonable price - definitely 3 Michelin stars !

I think the café is great. The food is fantastic; I had a bagel with avocado for breakfast. The latte tasted great, highly recommended! The atmosphere is great, it's very cozy to sit outside on the small square and enjoy the sun. Inside also looks really cool, super quaint. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. You don't need to book in advance, you just need a bit of luck.

Randomly found this restaurant with a high rating in Girona. And that was really surprising. The place has a nice story over the owners, really nice to know about them. The food was not just delicious but is really pretty, the atmosphere is cozy warm and unique. Is just like a dream restaurant I always had in my head. I really recommend it.

Delicious food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere to enjoy it all. We loved the chia bowls! My husband said the coffee is superb and I loved the rooibos tea that I enjoyed with the delicious cinnamon bun. I want to come back to try a bagel sandwich or avocado toast, which look amazing.

Excellent breakfast/brunch old-town cafe. International-friendly, broad selection of dishes and baked goods with lots of local sourcing. Cheerful, multi-lingual staff are very helpful and attentive. Source, roast, and proudly serve their own coffees. Leans into cycling theme (it’s Girona), but adds some fun organic homey feel.

My favourite place in Girona for coffee and brunch. Excellent vegan options and alternative milks which is a huge plus for me. The staff are lovely, the vibe is good, the coffee is great and I've yet to have anything that wasn't delicious. We visit here almost every day when we are in Girona, it's a real hub with cool decor

Lovely vibes, 8/10 coffee and it was actually hot (which is hard to find in Spain when you order a hot coffee!) but the croissant was one of the worst ones I’ve ever tasted. Dry, not buttery, not even tasty. But the cabinet doesn’t offer anything savoury so it forces you to order off the menu for something not sweet. A little disappointing!

So. Good! We were in Girona for a week and came here multiple times. The coffee is fantastic and the food is so tasty and fresh. We loved the vibe too and the staff are all lovely. Highly recommend 👌we would love to return one day.

Dining Experience at Divinium in Girona – High-Level Service but an Uneven Culinary Journey During our recent vacation in Girona, we spontaneously decided to visit the Michelin-listed restaurant Divinium. We were fortunate to get a table despite booking on short notice. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a sleek and elegant design, though the atmosphere felt silent somewhat stiff and minimalist. It’s possible this was an intentional aspect of the experience. We opted for the smaller tasting menu at €110 per person, as the larger menu (€130) would have taken an additional hour beyond the two hours for the smaller menu. The restaurant also offered a wine pairing for around €70, which we found to be an intriguing option. The visit ended up taking nearly three hours despite choosing the smaller menu. The service was exceptional, marked by attentiveness and professionalism. The staff ensured our glasses were always filled, the table was cleaned between courses, and small details like folding the napkin when one of us went to the restroom were much appreciated. One small area for improvement would be the clarity of the explanations of the dishes in English, as they were sometimes delivered quickly and weren’t always easy to understand. As for the food, the dishes were generally interesting and flavorful, with innovative presentations. However, we felt that some dishes lacked that final touch to feel truly complete. One dish, the "Duck with pear," was unfortunately a disappointment for us. It had a strong iron or metallic taste and a grainy texture (it was a type of pâté) that made it inedible for us. The server offered to replace the dish, but we declined. As a kind gesture, we were later served two extra desserts, which we appreciated. The menu started off very strong, with the brioche bread and the smoked eel being highlights, but it lost some momentum towards the end. None of the desserts stood out as particularly memorable, though they were perfectly acceptable. They did impress with very nice plating and presentation, including an effective use of dry ice. A very nice touch from the restaurant was that after the meal, we received personalized, gold-colored pamphlets listing all the dishes we had eaten that evening, along with the date and the names of all the staff who worked that night. This was a very stylish and memorable touch that we will truly appreciate. Despite some inconsistencies in the culinary experience, it was overall an exciting and good experience for the total price of €245 (including food, cava, and sparkling water). We truly appreciated the high level of service and the creative cooking at Divinium, even though there is room for improvement.

Came here to enjoy the “small” tasting menu which I took with the wine pairings. The appetizers were superb including an eel tartlet with lemon foam and a cod tartlet with red pepper gel. The mains were hit or miss. The snail with onion and anchovy was delicious. The egg yolk cured in salt and sugar and finished with a celeriac cream was strange. The cream was tasty but the egg seemed a bit overdone as it stuck to the teeth. The codfish was well prepared but overall the dish was quite salty. The strawberry and cream dessert was both delicious and beautifully presented. The professionalism of the staff was fantastic. They really worked as one team. The decor seemed sterile for a Michelin but maybe that was intentional? Not to my liking. I thought overall the meal and the pairings were well worth the price. Be prepared - 3hrs from start to finish.

It is a must experience to have if the 1 star Michelin restaurant is affordable for you. We had the "Menu Esencia", a fantastic explosion of flavours. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I thoroughly recommend it. The only thing I believe could be better, my opinion, is that the restaurant decoration could be much warmer and welcoming. I did find it slightly cold, which I guess is because they want the food and service to be the main focus of attention, nevertheless, if it was a bit warmer and welcoming space, it would definitely be a 5 star all round!

Truly a memorable experience. From the service to the tasting menu, everything was executed with intention and finesse. I cannot wait to come back.

What an absolutely amazing evening! If you have a penchant for viewing food as a form of art and relishing in a culinary theater, this is undeniably the place for you. We decided to go for the small tasting paired with wine, and let me tell you, it turned into a delightful marathon of flavors that stretched nearly three hours. Every single bite was like a symphony of taste explosions. While the interior exudes an elegant ambiance, it did take us a brief moment to fully embrace the brightness of the lights. Nevertheless, once settled, it contributed to the overall charm of the place. We can't recommend it enough – a truly remarkable experience for those who appreciate the fusion of artistry and exceptional taste in their dining adventure! A true gastronomic restaurant!

Great Michelin stared restaurant in the heart of Girona. Well worth a visit as a price fix or a La carte. The cheese selection is incredible.

Absolutely amazing food. Bold flavors that work well. Friendly service in a nice setting.

Simply superb find in the heart of Girona. It’s a high end restaurant with classics roots and a playful and well-honed modern technique throughout. We went for a recent lunch last minute and were thoroughly impressed by every single delicious dish and the staffs superb attention to detail. It was wild mushroom season so they had several specials highlighting the bounty of the area. All were great, but the baby squid was as good as it can possibly be! Wonderful and dense wine list focused on local producers at very reasonable prices . Overall a bit expensive but worth it for a top of the line meal on a very relaxed and professional setting.

One word: wow. Our Michelin guide friends are doing the general public a disservice by rating this establishment as a one-star. It is at the very least, a two-star, based on the delicious food alone. And Mr. Massana was a very gracious host. Will come back!!

A true culinary treat. Well deserved Michelin rating. From start to finish, every bite was an delightful experience. The staff is friendly and attentive but not overbearing. The courses are well portioned and the explosion of flavors continues to excite the pallet with each well crafted plate. The restaurant is well decorated with excellent art that gives a relaxing but sophisticated feel. A meal not soon forgotten.

A wonderful culinary experience. Each dish was meticulously prepared, and ingredients were of the finest quality. While each dish stood on their own, the whole tasting menu fit together in great harmony. This restaurant is well-deserved of all its accolades.

It’s an unforgettable meal at Massana. 15 beautiful, decadent and refined dishes. Nothing too fuzzy just great local ingredients that a lot of care has been put into. This is old school fine dining in a beautiful setting. The staff is very attentive and the sommelier recommended beautiful wines. Well deserved Michelin star.

Wonderful experience of the tasting menu- visiting solo and was very well looked after, particularly by Edward who gave fantastic education on the (mainly Spanish) wines to accompany the food. Family-run affair and feels all the more special for it. Highly recommended. Chocolate dessert probably the best I have ever eaten and that’s coming from a chocoholic!

What a great discovery in Girona. Recommended by friends and did not disappoint at all. Great combinations of flavors (meatballs with squid for example), marinated mussels gave a new expression of the seafood. Combined with great service, passionated sommelier and good wines made it superbe evening!

The location is really superb! It is like in a movie! Big plus that it is open till 00:00. But the food was not tasty at all. I ordered fish with peas purée and sweet pancakes with strawberry. Fish was very greasy and almost no spices, and puree was tasting like raw flour…when I asked to add some salad with vegetables without onion (but any kind of vegetables including cucumbers etc) I got a strange plate of peas and carrot with no spices. Pancakes were tasteless too, only strawberries were fine lol. The waitress with black hair (Bushere / Bu) was the only one serving me (she seems to be the only one working here normally) other waiters (around 3 of them) were ignoring me even when I looked at them. I was waiting for any waiter to come for 20 min to take my order… and before I was not given any menu, u had to ask for it. Moreover, another waitress (black woman) was super unpleasant with her behavior, the way how she brought me glass of water and took my dishes was very disrespectful. Additionally, normally you shouldn’t wait in the restaurant too long for waiter to come and ask if you need anything else / or you want to pay. Here I waited forever, no one really came back to me to check. Restaurant doesn’t have English menu. The smell inside the restaurant is not good - a strong smell of detergent like bleach (on tables). I hope this place will reconsider the staff and will make it a good spot for visitors not only because of the location. I expected tasty food how it should be and standard service but instead I got neither of this. Sad.

The terrace and location could not be beaten. The servers were lovely also, translating the Catalan menu, and taking the food back. But the food was underwhelming. I ordered the steak with duck liver pate, medium rare. But it came fully cooked through. I sent it back, and this time there was a little pink on the inside - still not right. The pate was delicate and couldn’t be tasted on the steak. I would avoid this dish.

This place came highly recommended. Food is very competent and service is decent. We each had to order a set and seating on the terrace was not available, which might have been a more of a highlight. All in all no regrets eating here. Great value for money.

The scenery is amazing, service was very good, and the food is such an experience. I would highly recommend to try the “pates” that they have, it was the best I’ve had in Spain

Fantastic menu. A must stop on your walk around Girona. Right in front of a Game of Thrones spot.

We had lunch at this place and were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is very cozy, and although the outside terrace, which is usually picturesque, wasn't available at that time, we were comfortably seated inside. Opting for the daily menu turned out to be an excellent choice. The dishes were exceptional: the pumpkin soup was velvety and delicious, and the grilled meat was simply amazing. For dessert, I ordered cheese with honey, and to my delight, it tasted exactly like the Russian "творог с медом." Overall, it was a great experience!

Lunch stop recommended by our Free Girona Walking Tour guide and we loved it here. We had a table by the window where we could see the stairs to the church. Our lunch order, which was served quickly, included beer roasted pork cheek which was tender, flavourful and delicious, and the grilled entrecote which was alright. Portions were good for us. We love the wine recommended by the staff and even though they spoke little English, they tried their best to provide good service.
